Offshore Oil Rig Worker Music Videos Boost Morale

Enjoy These OffShore Worker Videos

I have always wondered what offshore oil rig workers do all day. Or rather, what they do and where they go when they are not working. Looks like I found out. These guys have an extremely hard and dangerous job. Nice to see them all enjoying there time off. Now take a trip here to a couple of offshore rigs and enjoy these very creative offshore worker music videos. It’s nice to see these men expressing themselves. If you watch all these videos I believe you will see all the sides of an offshore oil rig worker. The pain and the fun they have on the surface. It’s tough being separated from your family. But A MAN’S GOTTA DO WHAT A MAN’S GOTTA DO. THAT BEING SAID: Let’s start of with

He currently holds 4 U.S. patents and has been making a living off one of the patents “The Bartol Mag-Probe” for over twenty years. Bartol Research’s Mag-Probe now has a global reach and is dramatically reducing trouble shooting downtime anywhere a solenoid valve. relay, or contactor is used.

F111 Air Force Projects – European Flight Competition
January 1968

Bob attended electronics school in the Air Force. Upon graduation he was assigned to a fighter wing in Germany. During his assignment he prepared seven aircraft for European competition. The fighter wings aircraft won the competition.

Bob then returned to the United States and taught advanced radar for two years.

Two years later, he returned to Europe. During this assignment, Air Force headquarters Europe selected Bob to open a Precision Measuring Equipment Laboratory (P.M.E.L) in England. It was the first of its kind in the Air Force.

Upon his return to the United States, Air Force headquarters assigned Bob to Air Force research command in Florida. This was strictly a scientific assignment for research and development.

After three years he moved from Eglin AFB in Florida to Edwards Air Force Base in California where he had direct contact with the National Bureau of Standards and supported research and development aircraft.

During this assignment, he designed a modification for the TF X fighter (F-111). This modification made possible an additional 9800 flying hours per year. The F111 was the first swing wing aircraft in history. General Dynamics completed the modification prior to acceptance by the U.S. Air Force.
